On the opening day of SXSWi, I learned that handing a cop a Monopoly “get out of jail free card” will get you out of a speeding ticket (courtesy of spiky-headed Brian Brushwood at his “Scam Your Way Into Anything or From Anybody” talk), the line “Maybe someone would have uploaded a transcript to Compuserve or The Well” gets a big laugh (from the mouth of ever-erudite Steven Johnson at his “The Ecosystem of News” presentation), and that the phrase “my tweeps” shall surely be unavoidable for the foreseeable future.

The above is a typical mouthful from me. So can I boil what I’ve learned at SXSW to just six words?

“SOUTH BY SIX WORD” CHALLENGE: In the spirit of the original Six-Word Memoir challenge that we launched via Twitter in November ‘06, we’re asking you to tweet out the best thing you saw, learned, or experienced at SXSWi today in just six words. If this works, we’ll do it Sunday and Monday as well.
